The author was one of them, together with her mother, originally Ukrainian and evicted from their homes by the War.The majority of these had been inmates of Nazi concentration camps, prisoners of war and slave labour camps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1947 the Australian Government reached an agreement with the International Refugee Organisation (IRO) to take 200,000 DPs from refugee camps in Europe. As the DPs arrived in Australia they were placed in temporary accommodation, mainly in disused army barracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of these camps was Scheyville, situated in the Hawkesbury region, ten kilometres from the rural farmland town of Windsor, northwest of Sydney. It was an isolated place, surrounded by broad-leaved ironbark and scribbly gum trees and lagoons, ideal as a military school for artillery and anti-tank warfare during WWII, which it had been in the past. However, it was not suitable for families scarred physically and emotionally by their past experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose and her family arrived in Scheyville in 1954 from Greta where they had spent the last two years, after being shuffled from one transit camp to another in the country towns of Bathurst and Parkes in western New South Wales.
